My favorite Lemon: The 2012 Cruze is an impressive world car. Kudos GM!!!

The 2012 Cruze is a great value, comfortable, and very fuel efficient,
There are few negatives to owning this car. It does everything it is intended to very well.
It's the first car I've owned in many years that I would buy again given the opportunity.
It's great to love a car that's made in America, keeps American manufacturing jobs here, and lowers my fuel costs every month.

Great car for the money

Engine problems in a brand new car was a disappointment. The LT package with cruise control and remote start is a huge plus.
